Copy & Paste For Path Steps

Is there any way to copy and paste path steps? I am wanting to having 3 pretty complex, multi-step paths that are all the same except for one small change on each. Is there any way to just copy and paste/duplicate each path and then go in and edit the small thing?

Great news @kcamarda (and everyone)!

You can now duplicate and re-order paths AND non-path steps.

    That would be very useful 👍

      Hi @Ecovillage.org Copying/pasting/moving Zap Steps is not currently available functionality in the Zap editor.

      Thankyou @Troy Tessalone for clarifying. That is unfortunate.

      Does anyone know if there is some way that I can submit this as a feature request?

        Really wish this was possible… it would have saved me 2+ hours of re-entry for each path I’m making, which is identical aside from 1 small step… brutal… I know you likely feel my pain on this

          @DaveZ 

          An alternative to Paths is to split paths into separate Zaps triggered by Webhooks: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/integrations

          This is a bit more technical of an approach to configuring Zaps but lends itself to more flexibility in connecting Zaps in a daisy chain fashion.

          A plus would be that you can easily copy and edit a Zap as I think you’re trying to do in your described use case.

            @Troy Tessalone  Thanks for that suggestion.  I painfully recreated a path the other night having these same thoughts.  Will definitely check out the Webhooks.  Seems like a lot more flexibility.
